Minnesota Orchestra Management Makes Play-And-Talk Offer To End Lockout"Under the proposal, musicians would return Sept. 30 for two months under the tenets of the old contract while negotiations continue to find a new deal. If there is no agreement by then, a 24 month contract would go into effect that would reduce musicians base pay to $87,000 (management says average annual pay will be $102,000)."
